Fifteen-year-old Anna Glanz has stopped speaking in the wake of her brother's death, and it's up to psychiatrist Gus Thaler to find out why. Thaler's attempts to cure Anna take him deep in the past to a mystical rabbi-healer who once treated Anna's grandmother. But ultimately fifty years later, as Anna lies dying, her daughter uncovers the truth her mother still can't bring herself to say. Wolf Constellation delivers a moving story of mothers and daughters, guilt and forgiveness. Written by the Pushcart Prize nominee author of Choke Creek, the novel weaves together a vivid tale that is at once realistic and darkly mysterious. With its rich exploration of family secrets, Wolf Constellation casts an unblinking eye on the forces that make us who we are--and are so difficult to escape.
